Furious families spurn Tony

At his appearance before the inquiry 12 months ago, Mr Blair caused outrage by refusing to apologise for taking Britain to war in 2003. But this time, he ended the four-hour grilling by saying that although he took responsibility for the decision he “deeply and profoundly” regretted the deaths of British troops and Iraqi civilians.

Bs! Blair "deeply and profoundly" regretting? Bs.

Earlier Mr Blair finally came clean about how he had backed George Bush’s war plans from the beginning. Official documents revealed that he was told in 2002 that the threat posed by Saddam Hussein was not getting any worse.

9/11

Last year when Tony Blair gave evidence to the Iraq Inquiry, Sir John Chilcot announced there were two documents that had been declassified.

According to Michael Mansfield QC one of them is extremely important: "It predates 9/11 and what Tony Blair was saying today was that everything changed post 9/11. Wrong.

"It is quite clear in the declassified document that the United Kingdom was aligning itself with the United States of America, in a policy document dated March 2001 in relation to regime change, which doesn't allow military incursion, and direct action in relation to Weapons of Mass Destruction.

"The fact is that the US and the UK had already laid the ground work between the two Governments that Saddam had to go before 9/11."
